He Had Been in State Prison.

A stranger entered an Austin saloon the
other evening, and after scowling at the
half-dozen sitters who were gathered
there. he said:
"Would you gentlemen object to tax
ing a drink with man what's been in
State prisonl"
He was a big, muscular fellow, with a
bad eve in his head, and he rested his
left elbow sort Of careless on the bar, fac
ing the crowd, his right hand reached
playfully for his hip pocket.
All jumped quickly to their feet at the
invitation and advanced toward the
bar, exclaiming in chorus: Certainly
not, stranger"
I'm proud to drink with you, - said
the foremost man, grasping him warmly
by the hand. 81 don't think any less of
of man because he has been in State
prison. In fact, I've served seven years
in one myself"
Il have broke Jail in three States, "
said another; ''yet amt proud. Give us
your hand"
II have never been in State prison, y re-
marked third, but / don't know how
my case may turn out when they get
through with it up to the Court House.
1t looks pretty squally."
II believe in giving man chance, "
said fourth. 1--WE got brother in the
Louisiana penitentiary, and wouldn't
like to see folks give him the colo Shout
der when he comes out"
MANY an innocent man goes to pris-
on" remarked a fifth man. 81 would
be there myself, l reckon, if the States
chief witness hadn't up and died Just be-
fore the case came on 1t was a close call,
/ tell YOU
"Well, " said the stranger, "since you
seem to be such hard lot by your own
confession, retire my invitation. Ihave
been in State prison for several years, not
as prisoner, but as prison superintendent.
l will see you later, no doubt, " and pay
ing for his single drink he departed, leav-
ing an inconsclable crowd behind.-Tesas
